💡 Expert Tip
Two critical traps that get applications rejected in APSC recruitments: First, your OTR (One Time Registration) profile on apscrecruitment.in must be fully updated BEFORE you apply — age, caste, and educational qualification data is directly fetched from your OTR profile. If it's outdated, your application will carry wrong data and cannot be edited after final submission. Second, for age proof, ONLY your Class X or Class XII Board Admit Card/Pass Certificate/Marksheet is accepted — Aadhar, Passport, or Birth Certificate will NOT be considered. Also note: the essay component of Paper-II can be written in Assamese OR English, but precis writing and comprehension must be in English only. Indicating a different medium on the answer book than what you actually wrote in will result in zero marks for that component.
